One-Third of Americans Say Iranian Election Demonstrations are Lacking in Media Coverage
Majority of Americans (88%) report being engaged in Iran election situation

Flemington, NJ, July 6, 2009 – A new national media study among 1,850 Americans revealed that one-third of respondents reported that the demonstrations and protests in Iran are not being covered enough by American media.

 
The study was conducted by HCD Research using its MediaCurves.com® website on July 1, to obtain Americans’ perceptions of the media coverage regarding the demonstrations and protests in Iran as a result of the recent election. To view detailed results go to: www.mediacurves.com.
 
A similar, associated study was also conducted regarding the amount of media coverage of the recent celebrity deaths. The majority of respondents (63%) reported that Michael Jackson’s death had received far too much media coverage, compared to 7% of respondents who reported that situation in Iran received too much media coverage.

I think that the US should let the I ranians run there own country and that the US should start to worry about our cuontry.The US has been worrying about other country's and the Us has let our country go to hell.I think it is about time for the US to start doing things for the people of the US.This country has been going down hill ever sicne we started to help the I ranians to much that they forgot on whats going on in our on country.I think that we shuold start doing what needs to be done in our country and stay the heck out of the other country's.I think that the US would not like it if anther country was trying to tell us what to do and how to run our country.I think the US should back down and do for our country.That is just the way i feel.
